Author	Topic: [ISS] PMA-3 docking port moved to Harmony

Flight controllers working at NASA Johnson Space Center in Houston remotely commanded the station's Canadarm2 robotic arm to grab hold of, move and reattach Pressurized Mating Adapter-3 (PMA-3) from the port, or left, side of the outpost's Tranquility module (Node 3) to the zenith (space-facing) side of the Harmony module (Node 2).
